Recipe idea

Chilled soba, cucumber and purple mizuna

A sesame-and-ginger noodle starter with mizuna distributed throughout each bite.

What the greens add

Its peppery note lifts the sesame and its tender stem contrasts with the noodles. Purple leaves distinguish the pale vegetables.

At the pass

Build a low noodle nest; place small mizuna groups at several points so they feature in different mouthfuls.

Ingredients and preparation

Indicative build for 1 portion; adjust after tasting.

Indicative ingredients

  • 45 g dried soba
  • 35 g cucumber and 15 g carrot, julienned
  • 3 g organic purple mizuna
  • 5 ml soy sauce, 5 ml rice vinegar and 2 ml sesame oil
  • 1 g grated ginger and 2 g toasted sesame seeds

Suggested preparation

  1. Cook, refresh and thoroughly drain the soba so water does not dilute the dressing.
  2. Whisk together soy, vinegar, sesame oil and ginger; dress the noodles and arrange the vegetables.
  3. At the pass, distribute the mizuna through the noodles and finish with toasted sesame.

Another possibility

Add 60 g cooked, cooled chicken to turn the starter into a lunch salad.

Recipe idea

Golden tofu, mushrooms and purple mizuna

A vegetable dish of browned textures and fresh mizuna, suited to a starter or warm small plate.

What the greens add

Mizuna adds a peppery note against the glaze's umami and a fine crunch against the tofu. Purple colour gives definition to the browned components.

At the pass

Place leaves between tofu and mushrooms; keep them clear of the hot glaze.

Ingredients and preparation

Indicative build for 1 portion; adjust after tasting.

Indicative ingredients

  • 100 g firm tofu
  • 80 g oyster or shimeji mushrooms
  • 4 g organic purple mizuna
  • 5 ml soy sauce, 5 ml mirin and 5 ml lime juice
  • 2 g ginger, 5 ml oil and 3 g toasted almonds

Suggested preparation

  1. Dry and brown evenly cut tofu; sauté the mushrooms until their moisture evaporates and they colour.
  2. Add ginger, soy and mirin; reduce to a light glaze and adjust with lime off the heat.
  3. Plate the tofu and mushrooms; add raw mizuna and almonds immediately before service.

Another possibility

Serve over rice as a main, keeping the mizuna as the final finish.

The “organic” wording in the name identifies the seed selection in the catalogue. It does not on its own certify the harvested tray as organic.

On your menu

This mizuna selection offers purple baby leaves and a gently peppery note for salads and toast.

Finishing the dishMix the leaves through the dish or leave their shape visible beside the main ingredient.

Three ideas to start with

  1. Add leaves to a lentil salad with roasted carrot.
  2. Place a few leaves on mushroom toast with onion cream.
  3. Try a small finish on a rice bowl with cucumber and citrus.
Taste your harvest and adjust the portion to your dish.
Does the organic selection necessarily taste different?

We do not claim a fixed flavour difference from the other purple mizuna. “Organic” identifies the seeds; it does not certify the harvested tray here.

More about this variety

An organic purple mizuna for cooks who want both leaf shape and a little spice. Add it raw to a salad or use a small cluster to finish a grain or noodle bowl.
